Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this
as a bugfix not as an ehnancement.

In these days, things are changed as
  - alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask().
  - mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists.
  (And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask())

So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong.

This patch does
  - check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all
    node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY.
  - Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall
    this faiulre is from cpuset.
And
  - modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE.
    This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE
    it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself.

  - handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path.
    This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.
